Electric Strike Installation Services in St Louis Park MN

Last month, a property manager from Uptown Minneapolis called us because her office building still used old deadbolts on every suite door. Tenants were losing keys, she was paying for re-keys every other week, and the whole thing was getting expensive. We drove out from our shop in St Louis Park and explained her about electric strikes and within a few days, her building had a modern access control setup that saved her time and money. But above all give her and the tenants great convenience.

That’s the kind of call we get a lot at All About Locks. Business owners across the Twin Cities reach out when they need electric strike installation done right the first time. An electric strike replaces the standard strike plate on your door frame and lets you control who gets in with a keypad, fob, card reader, or even a buzzer from the front desk. It’s one of the most practical upgrades a business can make.

Commercial Locksmith Services

As a commercial locksmith, we work with all kinds of businesses, from small retail shops in Dinkytown to large office buildings in downtown St Paul. Electric strike installation is just one part of what we do for commercial customers. Many business owners don’t realize how many options are out there until we sit down and walk them through it.

We carry and install electric strikes from trusted brands like HES, Adams Rite, Trine, and Von Duprin. Each brand has different models for various door types, whether you have a hollow metal frame, wood door, or aluminum storefront. We help you pick the right one based on your door, your traffic flow, and your budget and of course your needs.

Access Control Systems

Electric strikes work best when they’re part of a bigger picture. A lot of our customers in Bloomington, Eden Prairie, and Minnetonka start with a simple electric strike and buzzer setup, then later add a full access control system with card readers or keypads.

We install and service access control systems from brands like Alarm Lock, Kaba, and LiftMaster commercial operators. These systems let you track who comes and goes, set schedules for when doors lock and open automatically, and manage access for employees remotely from your phone or computer. It’s a real game-changer for businesses with multiple entry points or high employe turnover.

What is an electric strike and how can it help my business?

Think of an electric strike as a smarter version of the metal plate your door latch clicks into. When it gets a signal, and it can be a different type of signal: from a button, keypad, or card reader, it releases and lets the door open without a key. The door still locks automatically when it closes. This means no more chasing down lost keys, no more worrying about who made copies, and way better control over who walks into your building.

Electric Strike Repair and Maintenance

Minnesota winters are hard on door hardware. We get calls every January and February from businesses in Richfield, Brooklyn Park, and Plymouth where electric strikes stop working because of ice buildup or wiring issues caused by the cold. Regular maintenance can prevent most of these problems, and when something does go wrong, our team responds fast.

We repair all major electric strike brands and can usually diagnose the issue on the first visit. Common problems include faulty wiring, worn solenoids, and misaligned strike plates. If a repair isn’t cost-effective, we’ll let you know honestly and talk about replacement options instead.

Door Buzzer Systems and Intercom Entry

This type of strike is really common in apartment buildings, medical offices, and law firms around the Loring Park and Whittier neighborhoods. Someone rings the buzzer, you see or hear who it is, and you press a button to let them in. Simple and effective.

We install standalone buzzer systems as well as video intercom setups that connect to your smartphone. Whether you manage a small clinic in Eagan or a multi-tenant building in downtown Minneapolis, we can set up a system that makes sense for how your space actually works.

Keypad and Card Reader Installation

Keypads and card readers pair perfectly with electric strikes and give you a keyless entry solution that’s easy to manage.also, Adding or removing users takes seconds, which is a huge plus for businesses that deal with seasonal staff or contractor access.
